Most Ukrainians have a positive attitude towards Kazakhstan, but a significant proportion of respondents remain neutral. This is evidenced by the results of a sociological survey conducted by Active Group in cooperation with the Experts Club analytical center in April 2025.

Analysts explain the results by Kazakhstan’s stable image as a partner country with which Ukrainians do not associate conflict narratives. At the same time, the high level of neutrality indicates limited communication at the cultural and informational levels.

Experts note that the positive perception of Israel among Ukrainians may be linked to diplomatic relations, humanitarian aid, and the country’s technological development.

The results of a sociological survey conducted by Active Group in collaboration with Experts Club show that 65.2% of Ukrainians have a neutral attitude toward Chile, while another 9.2% were unable to answer the question. This means that for many, the country remains on the periphery of the information space.

At the same time, 19.4% of respondents have a positive attitude toward Chile (15.1% mostly positive, 4.3% completely positive). A negative perception was expressed by 6.2% (5.6% mostly negative, 0.6% completely negative).

“Chile is associated with economic reform, democracy, and attractive tourism. However, due to its geographical remoteness and lack of regular coverage in the Ukrainian media, it does not form a stable emotional background among the population,” notes Maksim Urakin, PhD in Economics and founder of the Experts Club information and analytical center.

Chile is mostly seen as neutral by Ukrainians, but positive associations with reforms and stability give it the potential to build a clearer image in Ukrainian minds.
